[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I enjoy all of this information, but it is completely bewildering. It is fascinating that there are so many parents that are this involved and devoted to a children's game. [/quote]

My son plays.  No, he won't be "going to college " on his lacrosse skills.  Doesn't need to, he's a great, smart, kind, industrious kid.  He'll be just fine whatever path he chooses.  Oh, and, no, we aren't psychos -- even thought we love to cheer him on!

You're missing when you say you're fascinated that parents are "devoted to a children's game."  You see, you've got it all wrong: the parents are devoted to the child.  Yes, the child.  I go to practices and games over and over.  I'm not devoted to the game.  I'm devoted to the kid!  I love the look on his face when he's joking around with the team…or high-fiving after a play…or helping a friend who's feeling low about a bad game.  I love that stuff!  If that means that I look weird to a stranger, so be it.

Not everything in life (especially in parenting!) is so black and white.  Take another look at those parents next time and think that maybe, just maybe they are out there jumping up and down and cheering because they love that kid on the field who's having a blast playing a game he loves.
